Apply for a TTGP Grant

Are you a Tribal entity looking to establish or expand your Tribal tourism industry? Learn how the Tribal Tourism Grant Program (TTGP) can help you explore opportunities.

The Office of Indian Economic Development (OIED) supports a Tribe’s capacity to plan, develop and manage tourism and related infrastructure in support of economic development and the NATIVE Act (Pub. L. 114-221). The TTGP grant funding strives to achieve substantial community benefits by supporting infrastructure development and increased tourism capacity to elevate the living standards of the community.

The OIED expects to award 10-15 Tribal tourism implementation projects through grants awarded in FY 2025. The one-time awarded TTGP grants will range in value from $75,000, but will not exceed $150,000, for a 24-month period of performance.

TTGP grants are discretionary and go through a competitive evaluation process. They are not self-determination/638 contracts that are awarded through the Public Law 93-638 process and give a tribe authority over programs operated by the federal government for the tribe’s benefit.

The OIED anticipates another possible solicitation period in the Spring of 2025. Please check this webpage for updated information or on Grants.gov
